Next chapter already? Wow, I'm getting on this fast. Two chapters a night is pretty good. OK, let's proceed shall we.
Not much intro here, just a disclaimer. I don't own Gundam Wing. I don't have anything creative to say about it.
After Eve Gundam Wing: A New Heero
Chapter Eighteen
And then there were five. All five Gundams now had a pilot. Thanks to Jin's negotiating skills, Rachel was allowed to join the Gundam Squad, and she became Heavy Arms' new pilot. It had been a month since the day her Mobile Suit was shot down over the seas, and no one had learned how it had happened.
One morning, Jin rose from his slumber to a low rumbling, a distant roaring noise which wasn't hard for him to identify. "MS?" he asked as he stifled a yawn. "What's going on?"
Jin looked out his window at the sunrise. The skies were light blue and pinkish on the horizon...and a large, red Mobile Suit was landing in the ocean n front of the house. "What the hell?" asked Jin silently. "I don't recognize that model."
But is it friend or foe? Jin ran out of his room and down the hall, banging on everyone's doors on the way and waking them. "We've got company on the beach! A new Mobile Suit of some sort!"
Jin got downstairs first, dressed only in a pair of blue shorts, his sleepwear of choice. He ran outside past the pool and to the edge of the patio, where he waited for the MS to land, and the cockpit soon opened.
A tall man with white blonde hair and light blue eyes exited the cockpit and jumped down to the beach. It didn't take Jin two seconds to recognize the person as the soldier who accompanied Vance on the night two years ago when his parents were killed.
What the hell is Max doing here? He can't possibly know about the Gundams...Can he???
The rest of the residents finally reached Jin on the back porch and watched the man march up to them. Jin noticed Rachel look down and step back, and attempt to hide her face. Rachel obviously recognizes him. This could turn out bad, really bad.
"Hello," said Howard, trying t act kind and innocent. "Can we help you officer?"
"I would sure hope so," said Max, looking at Howard. He wasn't looking at the children, paying them no attention. "I am Commander Max Marquise of OZ, and I want a moment of your time. About a month ago, we detected an enemy Mobile Suit over our airspace, a spy, and we shot the suit down around this area. Do you know anything of this matter?" Jin noticed Rachel try to hide her face even more. It was obvious she was afraid. If they found out she was the spy from the TAC, she'd be killed for sure.
"Shot down?" asked Howard, "a month ago? Don't know a thing about it?"
"Nope," said Howard. "We've just been living here, and we like to keep to ourselves."
"This your family?" asked Max, suddenly looking down at them. His eyes ran across Anita, then to Kreed, and then to Rachel, whose bangs covered her eyes as she looked down. Jin cringed. Rachel's fear was obvious. She was shaking. "What's wrong with you little girl?" asked Max, bending down close to her. "You afraid? There's no reason to be afraid if you all just cooperate."
He reached up and touched her chin, pushing her face up to look him in the eyes.
"Don't even touch her!" shot Jin suddenly. Max looked over and stood up, facing Jin. He eyed him hard. Jin was fuming, his fists at his side clenched tightly into fists. A few veins were raised to the surface of the skin in his arms.
"I know you," said Max, unsure of himself. "I've seen you before." He walked over to him and looked closely. "Oh my God. You're Heero's kid."
"How dare you speak his name," spat Jin. "Your tongue is unfit to speak of him."
"How dare you speak to me that way," shot Max. "How strange is it that we should meet again? Wait a minute. It's not strange at all. You're the pilot, from the TAC. I found the spy!"
The other pilots and Howard looked shocked and fearful for what could happen to Jin now. "Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not," said Jin. Jin turned and faced the other five. "Sorry guys," he began. "I'm not who I've led you to think I am. My name isn't Jonathan, but I am actually Jin Yuy, a pilot spy in the TAC. I came to your house to lie low for a while, but it seems to have not worked."
"What's this?" asked Max. "Oh I get it. You led these people to think you were someone else. Well what an interesting way to crash your party." Max took Jin's hand. "You're coming with me. Come on." Jin yanked his hand away, and was immediately hit in the stomach by Max's fist.
"Jin!" shouted Stephen. He began to run up to him, but Max held a pistol up to his forehead. Stephen stopped in his tracks.
"Move further and I'll kill you all," said Max. Jin got up slowly and stood straight.
"Stand down Stephen," said Jin. "You were my friend for a while, but you can't be anymore. I must go and pay for my crimes."
They turned to leave, heading back to the red Mobile Suit. This is madness, thought Rachel. He's gonna be taken in for my crimes, when he didn't do anything. I have to do something, or they'll kill him for sure. Rachel dashed forward, but Kreed held her back from behind.
"No," whispered Kreed as loud as he could without being heard. "Don't, or all he's done will be a waste.
"But he's in grave danger," said Rachel. "I can't let him take the fall for my mission."
"He's doing it to protect us," said Howard. "He fabricated that story to keep us out of trouble, to keep you out of trouble Rachel. He didn't want OZ around this house. He did it for the mission with all of our interests at heart."
Rachel stopped struggling, and Kreed let her go as Max and Jin climbed into the MS's cockpit.
"Time to go Jin," said Max as the cockpit hatch closed. He handcuffed Jin to a small seat behind the pilot's chair, and the Red Mobile Suit lifted from the sea into the sky.
All his friends could do was watch and pray for the best as he and Max disappeared into the sky.
End Chapter Eighteen
Two chapters in one long night. Phew...I guess I'm trying to catch up for not getting to it during the early summer months.
So Jin is now a prisoner at the mercy of OZ and a man who was the son of one of his father's rivals. What's gonna happen to him? Guess you'll have to wait to find out. Oh and I need the reviews, so please be kind and take the time to post. Thank yo.
